was just talking to someone, as i might be wanting a new van, but then have the kids at the weekend. but we only have a small car aswel so was just a thought, maybe something like a vw sharan, windows blacked out. even van wrapped. sign writting, take out the seats when not in use, and have all that space. seems the pickups are too thirsty and maybe a little small
what you all think?

i use a people carrier for the same reason it dos its job mate . you get the best of both worlds once the seats are removed its as good as a van for space then seats back in for family .
-
do you have any pics mate?
what have you got?

when my pug estate broke down early last week i had to use our renault senic, and it was great took the seats out, got 14 25lt barrels in, my freedom trolly plus two 100 metre hose reels and two brushes,

brill id like to see that get some ideas
do you have a van mount setup?
ie big tank in there? or like a backpack and a ruck o barrels
-
An ideal vehicle is the Citroen Synergie/Peugeot 806/Fiat Ulysses as they have a completely flat load area and with the seats out, they have fantastic mounting points that you can ratchet down to. They also have a good load rating so carrying a 400 litre flat tank would be ridiculously easy. They also have sliding side doors which make them ideal work vehicles.

i dont know if i really like sharans/galaxies and them. the newer ones are nice, but pricey too with it

other gear i needed no probs could have fitted more in if had removed more seat
had a 3litre v6 engine in it went like a bomb but so did the petrol when i put my foot down ;D but you would have never known the weight was in there

The only trouble is that the carpets get soaked and the water gets under the carpets and soaks the underlay / soundproofing eventually as well.

yes pond liner his great stuff my carpets mate are bone dry :)

same here ;D

I use a VW Sharan (Ford Galaxys are the same) 7 seater and take all the rear seats out. But make sure you get the Diesel and not the 2.8 petrol like I did. You can get the ready made floor liners off ebay which have a 2 inch lip around the edges to stop the water and dirt.

It'd be OK as long as you don't have a long journey with the family....spilt water stinks, and can't be helped really over time.
